Active clinical trials for "Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive"

This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of two weeks treatment of DNK333 in patients with COPD and cough.

The main purpose of this project is to establish the additional value of eccentric versus concentric exercise to optimize muscle function in patients with severe COPD. With this pilot project the investigators expect that an eccentric endurance training protocol adapted to severe COPD patients will lead to gains in muscle strength, the primary outcome, and cellular adaptation (muscle morphology and oxidative capacity, mitochondrial respiratory capacity) when compared to a concentric training approach. This information will be essential if the investigators want to design and power a randomized clinical trial that will allow assessing effectiveness of this novel rehabilitation approach.

The primary aim of this study is to investigate the tolerability and safety of AZD 1236 compared with placebo ("inactive substance") in COPD patients by assessment of Adverse Events, vital signs and laboratory safety assessments.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with antibiotics plus a TNFalpha antagonist will provide more effective treatment for acute COPD exacerbation compared to the current standard treatment of antibiotics plus prednisone.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of once daily treatment of BI 1744 CL inhalation solution (5 and 10 mcg) delivered via the Respimat® inhaler, in patients with COPD.

This study is to look at a new formulation of GSK573719 to see if it is safe and tolerated in healthy volunteers

The purpose of this study is to study histological changes, cellularity, clinical efficacy and safety of AZD1981 in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of this multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 4-period, incomplete-block crossover, dose-ranging study comparing 2 fixed dose combinations (FDCs) of aclidinium bromide with formoterol fumarate or with placebo, aclidinium bromide and formoterol fumarate, all administered twice a day (BID) in patients with stable, moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) beginning with a 2-week run-in period and with a 7-10 day washout each between treatment period.

Primary objective is to evaluate time to onset of effect of formoterol, 9 μg single dose,compared with salmeterol, 50 μg single dose, in patients with moderate COPD.Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) measured by spirometry 5 minutes postdose. Secondary efficacy variables: Average FEV1 during the first 15 minutes (area under the FEV1 curve from 0 to 15 minutes), Average FEV1 during 120 minutes (area under the FEV1 curve from 0 to 120 minutes)

Trial will include 40 subjects and consists of 3 visits: Screening, Treatment and Follow up. A euglycemic clamp procedure and Technosphere®/Insulin (T/I) administration will occur at Visit 2 for both COPD and non COPD subjects.
